So many pretty, pretty knits Gerry. Your shawl is stunning. Happy Monday to you my dear friend.
ReplyDeleteTracey, good morning. Thanks for stopping by over the holiday weekend.
DeleteI'm tickled with the outcome of this Anne Hansen design.
It was her creative talent that did it.
Plus, the yarn blend of merino/cashmere/silk certainly helps.
That said,
I knit every stitch and stich pattern
EVERY INCH OF THAT 870 YARDS IN A MONTH'S TIME
Now that was my 'moment'.
Gray Garden is now my current Fave of all my knitted shawls.
Have a terrific week, Tracey
Beautiful shawl! Do you wear them tied, wrapped or with an additional shawl pin?
ReplyDeleteHey, Tami
DeleteI AM IN LOVE with this shawl.
I,ll be wearing as a wrap,
Or it can be criss-crossed and tie in the back to make ti appear shrug-like
Wear with the triangle tip in front with end wrapped once 'round to hang in front
Maybe a post with pics showing the different ways is in order
Hey, thanks for that idea
How's big sky/cowboy country weather now that summer is near gone?
Should be shawl wearing time. LOL. LOL
thanks, love when you visit my Comment section
Hugs
I'm in love with that shawl!!! Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeletethe cowl looks so warm and colorful!!
Great job, as always!!!
Paula, Paula, both the shawl Gray Garden and the cowl Willow
DeleteAre knit with
Luxury-to-me yarns
Can't beat Merino wool, Cashmere, Silk
For lovely-ness next to the skin.
Thanks for leaving your compliment
Hugs
Your shawl is a piece of art you can wear. Very, Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI like that cowl too. I may have to try this one sometime.
Art
DeleteWhat a cool comment, Betty.
And, You can totally do Willow.
It's a simple concept
Even if it took me a bit to comprehend
Basically it's a cowl with a Picot beginning and ending
With rounds of Stockinette and separated with a simple, simple Lace Pattern
With several rounds of decreases thrown in
Making this cowl pool upon itself
Actually a very cool concept
Quick, Stash dive and get ready to cast on!
Hugs
GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS SHAWL!
ReplyDeleteIt truly is a "piece of art" you can wear!
Anna Marie,
DeleteAnne designs the most awesome projects
She is a top notch designer IMHO
She makes us look good
Both as knitter and wearers. :- )
When not being worn, Gray Garden will be a wall hanging, perhaps.
As Always
Hugs to you
Picture perfect.....love the shawl, indeed wearable art. Intrigued by the cowl and look forward to seeing it finished.
ReplyDeleteAs I was telling Betty in the previous comment,
DeleteIt's designs to become smaller in circumference as it's knit
Was causes the cowl to 'pool' on 'pool' onto itself
Making it want to hug your neck without the fuss of arranging it constantly
Cool concept
I love to read your blog to see what creativity has been hopping in your studio
Thanks for visiting, Marty
Hugs
Can hardly wait to see that shawl in person. It's gorgeous. Willow is lookin' good, too.
ReplyDeleteWell, dear friend, now that it's blocked to near perfection
DeleteIt will be ready for an introduction. [snicker, snicker]
In regards to Willow, Dianna,
Both Your's and mine will make their debut together
Will thy not !!!
Hugs
Your Grey Garden is ab fab! To me, there's nothing like pulling a wonderfully knitted and impeccably blocked piece off the board and inspecting it. The feeling of satisfaction you must feel when you look at that must be overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteI haven't looked in for a while. Hope the fact that you haven't blogged since September means you're busy knitting, quilting and having too much fun to blog. Would hate if it was because something bad was happening.
Joanna
Joanna,
Deleteyou go it right.
I've been concentrating on Knitting.
Just finished a crewneck cardi
in the wee hours of this past morning.
And, Whoppee, it fits.
I do plan on blogging. Just wanted to knit at least one sweater that actually fit me.
Bought a variety of buttons today
will pick out some and get them sewn on
and then will photo and get something blogged.
I've been truly loving knitting.
Looks like the season is changing :*)
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving
Thanks so much for checking in on me.
love and hugs
Gerry
